Right - I HAVE to lose 1 1/2 stone. And tone up... anyone wanna join me in a vague kick up the arse thread?

[LostProphet]

I need this weight gone.

It is making me seriously depressed (not in a vague "oh god that's depressing" way, in a very very low, slightly suicidal, don't want to be seen in public kind of way).

I was 6 months pregnant the only time I have weighed this much before.

Just the basics - exercise more in some way, eat better, eat less etc. Was thinking a weekly weigh in might help shame me into doing it.

My name is LostProphet/Flamesparrow/WhateverIamInTheMoodFor and I currently weigh 11st 8oz.

Flame - heard you had an accident, hope you're ok?? rest for me would definitely involve eating junk food so not good at all.
Maybe aim low over the next few weeks?

no1 - you've lost some so that's good
And I'm blaming Christmas for lots too!
Plus 'finishing off the treat food in the house'

Am back on track as of today - was away in Centre Parcs for a few days and allowed myself treats there.

Wii Fit says 9,13 tonight, so hopefully I can be really good and maybe get to 9,12 for tomorrow's weigh in....

Oh I dream of being 9 12
Well done you.
Re treats I told my stepmum that me and dh had eaten all our xmas treats to get them out of the way. She has lots and lots so gave me a tub of celebrations.
dont think she got my point, but i didnt turn them down

No I wouldn't have been able to turn them down either

I was over 11stone when i started making efforts to lose weight. getting to 10-something was cool, then got my BMI into Ideal, that was FAB, then got below 10, vvv cool!

But now have to aim even lower.

Some people said i should throw away my size 10's as i was never going to get back into them and was deluding myself

(ok, not those exact words but that intention)

Anyway, was wearing some of them before Christmas (bit too snug right now!) so glad i didn't listen to them

You will do it!

wow well done you. That is amazing.

Not very good support you had there though
You should be proud of yourself

My dh always says 'It's only you that can do it' etc...
but when he wants a takeaway, he is not very supportive when I try to say no.

Well, ate with the DCs before doing the Wii so knew it wouldn't be ideal but hey.

10 stone.

back on the right track from tomorrow.....

As expected, "resting" is not doing my waistline any good

That you Flame?
How are you feeling?
How long do you have to rest for?

Waiting for Wii weigh in later, hoping for some success as have been pretty strict with myself. Most Christmas things gone now - though did find some Mistletoe Kisses in the cupboard earlier - gave 2 to ds1 and 1 for me, so at least they're gone now too

I have physio tomorrow, they will tell me what's what then I 'spect.

you gave away more than you kept - well done!

Thanks!

9,13 last night, i'm heading in the right direction....

Oh good, can I join? I think I need to be doing this with other people, I just cheat on myself otherwise!

Welcome - so starting weight and goal weight?

9, 11 tonight, yey!

Looking back through the Wii Fit graphs:

August 2008 11,5 (highest ever)
Jan 2009 9,11 (lowest since getting pg with DS2)

Well i was 9,9 on the upstairs scales this morning so will have to see what the Wii says tonight. Normally a lb or 2 more by the evening.

Plus i went clothes shopping yesterday and was a size 10 in both M&S & Monsoon!
(size 14 in H&M but will ignore that for now!)

11st 5 Even with "resting" and comfort eating

H&M are evil with their sizing. I remember being XL in maternity in there when I was a size 12 everywhere else. How best to make a pregnant woman suicidal....?

Well done VW

What i don't get with H&M is that there are lots of young (slim) girls going in there and surely they don't want to buy size 10/12, they want 4/6/8 as they would get in Topshop (last abortive attempt in there trying to find a size 14 some time ago, never again!). weird idea of marketing IMO.

Anyway....9,11 tonight, so no change
Better than a gain, esp after a big Sunday roast!

Slowly but surely.....

Where are you all????

9,10 last night, another pound down, yey!

9,9 tonight

2 lbs to pre-DS2 weight, nearly there!

I don't mind talking to myself but sure there are some of you out there.....

Anyway, 9,7 last night, hoorah

Now at pre-DS2 weight. 9 months on, 12 months off

Sorry - I was 11st 7oz on Thursday.

Very very very low about it all. I got back to yoga tonight and when I bent down I could see the expanse that is my thighs. I hate my appearance atm.

I want to do circuits again but my mate won't let me - she won't risk it whilst i am still having physio.

Oh Flame that is a shame
Hopefully the yoga will help and how long do you have left of physio? or is it until you are better?

Think you can't expect too much as you can't be as active as you want to be. Give yourself a break and 'postpone' the weight loss plan

I've been cooked for all weekend, have a formal night out on wed & my birthday on fri so don't expect much progress this week!!

Yay for yours JKS (was wrapped up in my own world )

Thanks!

hmm, 9,8 after weekend of MIL's yummy cooking
ah well, back to my own food now.

9,6

Ok, i know it's not a sunday but wanted to post regardless.
LESS than a stone to go for target, perfect, wedding weight!

Yay for you!!!

11st 4lb here Still don't like myself much, but am at least not pregnant weight anymore!
